…holds maiden business banquet

Smart Treasure Investment Team (ST Team) has entered Nigeria to address the challenges of unemployment and poverty occasioned by the country’s uncertain economic climate.

Through its AI-driven trading and data analysis platform designed specifically for enterprising Nigerians, the organisation aims to reduce poverty rates in Africa by 30 percent come 2027 with a special focus on Nigeria.

Speaking at its maiden business banquet in Lagos, Trust Otorudo, the regional head for Lagos, said the platform is committed to improving the financial status of Nigerians, especially with the growing economic situation in the country.

Otorudo said the platform uses artificial intelligence to predict trades accurately, adding that there is a need to move away from traditional means of trading to AI-driven methods of creating wealth and investment.

He said the organisation believes strongly in public-private partnership and is currently in the incubation stage to acquire its Security and Exchange Commission approval.

Otorudo said the ST Team aims to provide an enabling environment for individuals to achieve their goals, whether in agriculture, education, or manufacturing, while also making money virtually.

Addressing concerns about potential challenges from banks, the regional head said that the ST Team does not trade the Naira and poses no threat to Nigerian banks.

“We are not a threat to any bank. We do not trade the Naira, and we have no business with fiat currencies,” he said. “The banks will enjoy doing business with us,” he said.

Fola Abiodun, VIP 9 leader shared her motivation for spreading the news about the platform, emphasising the importance of financial stability for societal security.

“I believe that when we have more people doing well in society, there won’t be a cause for stealing and robbery,” Abiodun said. “That’s one of the drives that made me reach out to my colleagues, friends, and family,” she said.

On his part, Isaac Adediran, legal consultant said the platform was incorporated in 2025 and is currently awaiting its full Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) license.

Adediran urged Nigerians to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the ST Team to improve their financial status and contribute to reducing unemployment in Nigeria.

Aside from the ST team’s financial independence drive for Nigerians, the team has also carried out several corporate social responsibilities (CSR) initiatives and projects that have improved education and community development across the country.
